Training 18/8
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 12:24 pmA full session before they fly out today at 5.30. Missing were Micah,Ade,Robinho,Nigel and Bridge but all were appently inside. No word on any injuries so just precautionary I would expect. Johnson out again training so that's 4 days in a row now which is great news. Also good news was the first sighting of the lesser spotted RSC . One to one with a physio but he got a great wave/cheer from the 2 Mark's when they passed him later on.
Nothing really special in the warm ups or any of the football stuff on view. A few of the squad players involved as usual ( Mee,McGivern,Weiss.Clayton,Marsh,vidal,Tripp ) but some others not on view as there was a reserve game scheduled for 1pm against a touring Malaysian side.I reckon quite a few of the young guns might get a chance tomorrow and I fancy Trippier to be one of them. Judging by the size of them Clayton McD won't be losing too many headers.Only specific I saw in the training would have been Patrov having a bad day at the office. As 1 of a 3 working on attacking routines he wasn't having the best day and his body language reflected a man totally out of sorts.
A helicopter flew over at one point coming from the direction of the swamk training area.A photographer said it would be baconface going to the races and he took a picture as it flew over our pitches. His hope was that he might be able to make him out on close up and manufacture a story that he was on a spying mission .
3 stayed back at the end for some shoooting practice.With Eddie N feeding balls they were working on volleys first timers and one touch plus half volleys all from the edge of the box. Some good some not so good but Tevez was the best of the bunch imo( Weiss and Bellers being the other 2) It seemed inevitable that Hughes would fancy a bit of this action and he came over for a go. The first over the top and the next in the top left corner at which point he left.
